| Jaicee said: Baby Metal's the flat-out coolest band in the world today, IMO. I'll be seeing them in concert June. Anyway, thanks for sharing those songs! Dreamscape and Trollfest were both new discoveries for me. You're right, Dreamscape reminds me a lot of like a tech-skeptical Linkin Park variation and that's right up my alley. And the Trollfest tunes just made me smile. |
And yeah, I like it when musicians integrate video game sound effects into their work too. 
Yeah they're so much fun to watch and listen to, the combo of catchy K-pop and shredding metal was so innovative when they took off in the early 2010s. Now that sort of thing is a bit more widespread but they're still my favorites of the genre over the past decade or so and still probably do it best. Overall probably like a top 20 band but as far as bands I want to see live they're amongst the top along with Megadeth, System of a Down, Sonata Arctica (Finnish power metal band I love), and Ramstein. I remember in 2019 I would rock out to Metal Galaxy almost daily while getting in a work out with Ring Fit Adventure. Good times..
Should be siiiick, have fun!
Trollfest's latest album Flamingo Overlord is so wild and random, the whole "flamingo metal" thing initially had me going lol wtf? But it turned out being one of my favorite albums of the 2020s. They have a diverse and unique lineup of stuff on it. I think they're just desperately trying to break through and get noticed in an industry that barely even gives metal a look, let alone obscure Norwegian folk metal, but it definitely works and comes through on that album.
